Why Kristy Loves Doonan

“Doonan is where the hinterland meets the coast—and I absolutely love it. The moment you drive under the canopy of trees, you feel the energy shift. It’s calm, green, and nurturing.

I love The Doonan – a beautiful venue nestled in the Noosa Hinterland. It is a popular, family-friendly destination set on two hectares, offering a warm, wonderful atmosphere. With a spacious beer garden, both indoor and outdoor dining options, and regular live music, it’s the perfect spot to relax and unwind.”

Many of the homes and properties here feel like private sanctuaries. You can have a veggie patch, a firepit, and still be at the beach in 15 minutes. I’ve helped my clients find very stunning and unique homes in Doonan, including off-market properties they never imagined were possible.”
